01

Why supplement?

Marked asPrimarySupporting

Primary

Supply citrus anthocyanins

Moro types colour under cold; anthocyanins enter the endothelial antioxidant pool—a pigment path ordinary sweet orange lacks. People with cold hands and feet more often notice extremity temperature after several continuous weeks. Moro anthocyanins need cold colouring; extremity temperature is the watch-point.

Supporting

Provide citrus vitamin C and hesperidin

The flesh also keeps hesperidin, helping collagen and microcirculation. People whose gums swell in winter and whose capillaries show more often notice gums and broken facial vessels after several continuous weeks. Hesperidin travels microcirculation; fading thread veins takes several continuous weeks.
